NY Fash Week: Vera Wang



Anna Wintour leveled her sunglasses and AndrĂ© Leon Talley crossed his arms as the lights went up and the sound reached full decibel for Vera Wang’s fall 08 collection, inspired by social dutch portraits of Kees van Dongen. And I’d be hard pressed to believe that anyone was disappointed. Models carried themselves with a wispy intelligence and romantic dream-like quality. Her gowns were ethereal, composed of layers of chiffons, silks and in a palette of muted greys, sands and chartreuse; and in an ode to luxe, many were adorned with golden epaulette tassels. The soundtrack said it all with the lyrics that hummed, “it’s time for something great.”
